A missing fisher has been picked up off the Nova Scotia coast following a mishap during a rescue mission on Sunday morning where the person fell in the ocean during a transfer to a coast guard vessel.

However, as of 5 p.m. local time, the search and rescue service and the Canadian Coast Guard hadn’t provided an update on the condition of the person, other than to indicate the fisher was transported to hospital in Sydney.
